Quick Setup

NetComm GatewayTM Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router with VoIP

Quick Setup
The Quick Setup screen allows the user to configure the router for DSL connectivity and Internet access. It also guides the user though the
WAN network setup first and then the LAN interface setup. You can either manually customize the router or follow the online instruction to
set up the router.
The following configuration considerations apply:
The WAN network operating mode operation depends on the service providers configuration in the Central Office and Broadband
Access Server for the PVC
If the service provider provides PPPoE service, then the connection selection depends on whether the LAN-side device (typically a
PC) is running a PPPoE client or whether the router is to run the PPPoE client. The router can support both cases simultaneously.
If some or none of the LAN-side devices do not run PPPoE client, then select PPPoE. If every LAN-side device is running a
PPPoE client, then select Bridge In PPPoE mode, the router also supports pass-through PPPoE sessions from the LAN side while
simultaneously running a PPPoE client from non-PPPoE LAN devices. In most cases, NAT and firewall should always be enabled
when PPPoE or PPPoA mode are selected, but they can be enabled or disabled by the user when MER or IPoA is selected, NAT
and firewall are always disabled when Bridge mode is selected.
Depending on the network operating mode, and whether NAPT and firewall are enabled or disabled, the main panel will display or
hide the NAPT/Firewall menu. For instance, at initial setup, the default network operating mode is Bridge. The main panel will not
show the NAPT and Firewall menu.
NOTE: Up to sixteen PVC profiles can be configured and saved on the flash memory. To activate a particular PVC profile, you must navigate through all the Quick Setup
screens until the last summary screen, and then click on the Save/Reboot button.

4.1 Auto Quick Setup


The auto quick setup requires the DSL link to be up. The router will automatically detect the best connection type. You need only to follow
the online prompts.

1.  For PPPoE connections, simply enter your User ID and Password as provided by your ISP, then click Save & Reboot. For other connection
types, click on Click Here for Other Connection Types and follow the instructions to complete the setup.
2. After the process is complete, you can use the DSL service.

Follow Steps 1 through to 3 of Manual Quick Setup
4: Select the PPP over ATM (PPPoA) or PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) radio button and click Next. The following screen appears.

PPP Username/PPP Password


The PPP Username and the PPP password requirements are dependent on the particular requirements of the ISP or the DSL service
provider. The web user interface allows a maximum of 256 characters for the PPP username and a maximum of 32 characters for PPP
password.
Enable Fullcone NAT
Known as one-to-one NAT, all requests from the same internal IP address and port are mapped to the same external IP address and port.
An external host can send a packet to the internal host, by sending a packet to the mapped external address.
Dial on Demand
The router can be configured to disconnect if there is no activity for a period of time by selecting the Dial on demand check box. When the
checkbox is ticked, you need to enter the inactivity timeout period. The timeout period ranges from 1 minute to 4320 minutes.
PPP IP Extension
The PPP IP Extension is a special feature deployed by some service providers. Unless your service provider specially requires this setup, do
not select it.
The PPP IP Extension supports the following conditions:
Allows only one PC on the LAN
The public IP address assigned by the remote side using the PPP/IPCP protocol is actually not used on the WAN PPP interface.
Instead, it is forwarded to the PC LAN interface through DHCP. Only one PC on the LAN can be connected to the remote, since the
DHCP server within the router has a single IP address to assign to a LAN device.
NAT and firewall are disabled when this option is selected.
The router becomes the default gateway and DNS server to the PC through DHCP using the LAN interface IP address.
The router extends the IP subnet at the remote service provider to the LAN PC. That is, the PC becomes a host belonging to the
same IP subnet.
The router bridges the IP packets between WAN and LAN ports, unless the packet is addressed to the routers LAN IP address.

If the LAN is configured with a private IP address, the user should select this checkbox. The NAT submenu will be displayed after reboot.
The user can then configure NAT-related features after the system comes up. If a private IP address is not used on the LAN side (i.e. the
LAN side is using a public IP), this checkbox should be de-selected. When the system comes back after reboot, the NAT submenu will be
no longer available.
Enable Fullcone NAT
This option becomes available when NAT is enabled. Known as one-to-one NAT, all requests from the same internal IP address and port
are mapped to the same external IP address and port. An external host can send a packet to the internal host, by sending a packet to the
mapped external address.
Enable Firewall
If the firewall checkbox is selected, the Security submenu will be displayed after system reboot. The user can then configure firewall features
after the system comes up. If firewall is not used, this checkbox should be de-selected to free up system resources for better performance.

Voice

Voice
This chapter first describes the various options for configuration of the SIP voice service. It then provides detailed instructions for making
telephone calls using VoIP (Voice over IP) or PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) services

5.1 SIP
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a peer-to-peer protocol used for Internet conferencing, telephony, events notification, presence and
instant messaging.
SIP is designed to address the functions of signalling and session management within a packet telephony network. Signalling allows call
information to be carried across network boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an end-to-end
call.
The SIP standard defines the following agents/servers:
1. User Agents (UA) - SIP phone clients (hardware or software)
2. Proxy Server relays data between UA and external servers
3. Registrar Server - a server that accepts register requests from UA
4. Redirect Server provides an address lookup service to UA
NOTE:

The SIP standard is set by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

The following subsections present Basic, Advanced and Debug SIP screens. Each screen provides various options for customizing the SIP
configuration.

5.1.1

This screen contains SIP configuration settings used for debugging.

Once settings are configured click Save/Apply to begin using the service.

5.2 Telephone Calls


To make a call, simply dial the number. The dial plan (i.e. the dialled digits) is normally customized for each installation. The default dial plan
allows for dialling of 4-digit extensions or direct IP addresses. Shorter extension numbers (e.g. 3-digits) can be dialled by completing the
dial string with a final #.
When a Call Server (SIP Proxy Server) is configured into the system, the dialled digits are translated and routed by the Call Server to the
correct destination as registered with the Call Server.
If no Call Server is configured, calls can still be made using 4-digit extensions, rather than using full IP addresses. The originator translates
the dialled-digits to a destination device as follows:
First Digit:

Line identifier (for multi-line gateways)

Remaining digits:

Host number part of an IP address. The Network number part is considered to be the same
as the callers IP address.

For example, if a caller at address 10.136.64.33/24 dials 2023, the call will be placed to the second line at address 10.136.64.23. All
devices have to be on the same Class C subnet (24-bit subnet mask).
To dial an IP address directly, dial the IP address digits using * on the keypad as the dot. Complete the address with a final * or #. When
using IP address dialling it is not possible to specify which line at a gateway is called, so the gateway always routes IP-address dialled calls
to the first line.
Network busy tone (fast busy) will be played for unknown or unreachable destinations. To answer a call, pick up the phone or press the
hands free button.

6.2 Wireless Security Quick Setup


Security settings are used to prevent unauthorised connection to your network. This can be as basic as a neighbouring user who detects
and is able to connect through your wireless network, right through to actual malicious interference or hacking. Whatever the case, it is a
good practise to be aware of and to use wireless network security to safeguard your data and your network
Prior to considering the details of wireless security provided later the Quick Security Setup explains how to implement basic security on
your NB9WMAXXn wireless network.

Quick Security Setup 1: WEP Security


Your NB9WMAXXn has WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption enabled by default. Your network will not be available to passer-by or
non-authorised users, and any workstation wishing to connect to your NB9WMAXXn must know the SSID (wireless network name) and
WEP key values.
Turn on wireless, and set the SSID or wireless network name in the Wireless Setup Screen:

Default SSID: wireless. This can continue to be used or changed to the name of your choice.
Next, click on Wireless>Security. You should see that WEP encryption is enabled by default.

This page will also allow you to change the Network Authentication and encryption key.
Default WEP Key:

a1b2c3d4e5

You are able to change these values however it is strongly recommended that security is not turned off. It is also recommended that your
SSID or network name not advertise your actual name but be kept generic or anonymous.
Note:

WEP Security is the appropriate choice if the network clients that wish to connect include 802.11b standard NICs.

ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router with VoIP User Guide

YML9WMAXXN
www.netcomm.com.au

NetComm GatewayTM Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router with VoIP
Quick Security Setup 2 WPA-PSK
If a stronger network security settings is required, go to Wireless>Security and select WPA-PSK from the Network Authentication dropdown menu. Enter a network key of your choice in the WPA Pre-Shared Key field; this can be from 8 to 63 characters and contain special
characters and spaced. And change the WPA Group Rekey Interval to 3600.
Select TKIP for WPA Encryption and leave WEP Encryption as disabled.

Users wishing to connect to your network will need to know the SSID name and the WPA Pre-Shared Key.
Note: Wireless client network cards must be WPA-compliant to connect to your network; if in doubt check the wireless client network card documentation, or use WEP security
(above).

6.3 Wireless Security in Detail


The following provides a detailed summary of wireless terms and acronyms and more in-depth explanations of the topic. It assumes
little prior knowledge of wireless networking and is aimed at providing background for the terminology used in the NB9WMAXXn Wireless
Security screens.
Warning: Wireless Networking is a technically challenging subject!

Authentication and Encryption


The two major aims of wireless network security are:
(1) to prevent unauthorised persons from joining the network and
(2) to prevent interception of network data or eavesdropping. These aims are accomplished by:
Authentication: establishes the identity of those seeking to join the network
Encryption: ensures that data is protected in such a way that those outside the network cannot access it.

Network Keys
The term network key is often used in the context of wireless networking. The Network Key can be a text string, although in some
systems network keys are generated from a pass-phrase which is entered in one field from which up to four keys are derived in fields
underneath the entry field.
In all cases, the Wireless Router/Access Point and the workstations wishing to connect must use the same Network Key which needs to be
communicated to clients prior to connection.
Re-keying refers to the frequency with which network keys are changed; for security purposes, they need to be changed frequently in
case they re-occur frequently enough to identify them.
In some wireless systems, network keys are entered by a variety of means including:
ASCII any letter, number, or punctuation mark but no special characters
Hex Letters A-F, Numbers 0-9 only
Pass phrase enter a phrase in the top field of a set of fields, an algorithm then generates a series of keys based on the entered values.
These methods have been standardised in the later implementations of Wireless Security and are easier to use in WPA.

33

WEP and WPA


WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy and was the original wireless security method. Over time it was found to be vulnerable to
attacks based on de-coding the keys used to encrypt the data. While no longer recommended for enterprise-level security, WEP
is certainly secure from casual interception and will repel any non-specialised attempt to join the network or intercept data; it can be
penetrated with various kinds of software tools and techniques but these are beyond the capability of the average computer user.
WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access and is an improvement on WEP. WPA2 offers further refinements to WPA.
WPA and WPA2 both comprise a number of different wireless security elements and methods that can be adapted to a variety of situations
depending on the requirements. A lot of what is provided is applicable to enterprise-level wireless networking, in other words, suitable for
businesses who wish to deploy strict security methods and policies for their employees. Accordingly, these technologies will exceed the
requirements of home users.
An important element of WPA security is a RADIUS server (stands for Remote Access Dial-in User Service). The RADIUS server typically sits in
the server room of a business or department and authenticates and manages user requests for connection. Home users will generally never
have to bother about RADIUS server details.
In nearly all cases, the default security method, which is WEP, or WPA-PSK will provide adequate security for home wireless networks.
Other wireless security elements shall be explained in context below.

Network Authentication
Network Authentication specifies the type of network authentication. The default value is Shared.
Open:

Under Open System authentication, any wireless station can request authentication.

Shared:

Under Shared Key authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret shared key over a
secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network communications channel (i.e. verbally). To
use Shared Key authentication, you must have a network key assigned to the clients trying to connect to your
NB9WMAXXn.

802.1X
802.1X security requires the presence of a RADIUS server, and specification of the IP address of a RADIUS server, the port on which to
connect to it, and the Shared Key used to authenticate with it.
Disregard this security setting unless you are setting up or connecting to a RADIUS server.

WPA
WPA requires a RADIUS server to provide client authentication. WPA also requires specification of the WPA Group Rekey Interval which
is the rate that the RADIUS server sends a new Group Key out to all clients. The Re-Keying process is part of WPAs enhanced security.
This method also requires specification of the IP address of a RADIUS server, the port on which to connect to the RADIUS server, and the
shared key used to authenticate with the RADIUS server.

NetComm GatewayTM Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router with VoIP
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is a special mode of WPA providing strong encryption without access to a RADIUS server.
In this mode encryption keys are automatically changed (rekeyed) and authentication re-established between devices after a specified
period referred to as the WPA Group Rekey Interval.
WPA-PSK is far superior to WEP and provides stronger protection for the home/SOHO user for two reasons: first, the process used to
generate the encryption key is very rigorous and second, the rekeying (or key changing) is done very quickly. This stops even the most
determined hacker from gathering enough data to identify the key and so break the encryption.
WEP is confusing because of the various types of network keys vendors use (HEX, ASCII, or passphrase) and because home users mix
and match equipment from multiple vendors, all using different types of keys. But WPA-PSK employs a consistent, easy to use method to
secure your network. This method uses a passphrase (also called a shared secret) that must be entered in both the NB9WMAXXn and the
wireless clients. This shared secret can be between 8 and 63 characters and can include special characters and spaces. For maximum
security, the WPA Pre-Shared Key should be a random sequence of either keyboard characters (upper and lowercase letters, numbers,
and punctuation) at least 20 characters long, or hexadecimal digits (numbers 0-9 and letters A-F) at least 24 hexadecimal digits long.
Note:

The less obvious, longer and more random your WPA Pre-Shared Key, the more secure your network.

Note the following WPA Encryption options:


TKIP:

The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) takes over after the initial shared secret is
entered in your wireless devices and handles the encryption and automatic rekeying.

AES:

WPA defines the use of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as an additional


replacement for WEP encryption. Because you may not be able to add AES support
through a firmware update to your existing wireless clients / equipment, support for
AES is optional and is dependent on vendor driver support.

TKIP+AES:

This will allow either TKIP or AES wireless clients to connect to your NB9WMAXXn.

WPA2
WPA Pre-authentication support in WPA2 allows a client to pre-authenticate with the NB9WMAXXn toward which it is moving, while
maintaining a connection to the access point its moving away from. This new capability allows the roaming to occur in less than 1/10th
of a second while a traditional roam without PMK caching and pre-authentication would take more than one second. Time-sensitive
applications like Citrix, video, or VoIP will all break without fast roaming.
Network Re-Auth Interval is the interval specified (seconds) that the wireless client needs to re-authenticate with the NB9WMAXXn.
For the remainder of the fields required, see above.
WPA2-PSK:

Same as WPA-PSK, but you can only use AES with WPA2 and not WPA.

Mixed WPA2/WPA:

Enables WPA2 or WPA wireless clients to connect to the NB9WMAXXn. Requires a RADIUS server to
authenticate the wireless clients.

Mixed WPA2/WPA-PSK:

Enables WPA2 and WPA clients to authenticate using a PSK (Pre-Shared Key) instead of a RADIUS
server.

Description

Band

Frequency band used by the wireless AP. Default is 2.4GHz

Channel

Drop-down menu that allows selection of a specific channel.

Auto Channel
Timer (min)

Auto channel scan timer in minutes (0 to disable)

802.11n/EWC

With drop-down menu, Auto is for 11n and Disable is for 11g

Bandwidth

Drop-down menu specifies the following bandwidth: 20MHz in 2.4G Band and 40 MHz in 5G Band, 20MHz in both bands and 40MHz in both
bands

Control Sideband

This is available for 40MHz. Drop-down menu allows selecting upper sideband or lower sideband

802.11n Rate

Drop-down menu specifies the following fixed rates. The maximum rate for bandwidth, 20MHz, is 130MHz and the maximum bandwidth,
40MHz, is 270MHz

802.11n Protection

It is similar as 802.11g protection. In Auto mode the router will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11n performance in mixed 802.11n/ 802.11g/
802.11b networks. Turn protection off to maximize 802.11n throughput under most conditions.

Support 802.11n
client only

Drop-down menu allows selecting On/Off. Choosing On allows the client with 11n only to connect, not for 11g or 11b; choosing Off
allows the client with 11n/11g/11b to connect

54g Rate

Drop-down menu that specifies the following fixed rates: Auto: Default. Uses the 11 Mbps data rate when possible but drops to lower rates
when necessary. 1 Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, or 11Mbps fixed rates. The appropriate setting is dependent on signal strength.

Multicast Rate

Setting multicast packet transmit rate.

Basic Rate

Setting basic transmit rate.

Fragmentation
Threshold

A threshold, specified in bytes, that determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 WLAN, packets that
exceed the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into, smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified
fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented. Enter a value between 256 and 2346. If you experience a high packet error rate, try to
slightly increase your Fragmentation Threshold. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold
too low may result in poor performance.

RTS Threshold

Request to Send, when set in bytes, specifies the packet size beyond which the WLAN Card invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism. Packets that
exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the RTS/CTS mechanism. The NIC transmits smaller packet without using RTS/CTS. The default
setting of 2347 (maximum length) disables RTS Threshold.

DTIM Interval

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM), also known as Beacon Rate. The entry range is a value between 1 and 65535. A DTIM is a
countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the AP has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to
receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1.

Beacon Interval

The amount of time between beacon transmissions. Each beacon transmission identifies the presence of an access point. By default, radio
NICs passively scan all RF channels and listen for beacons coming from access points to find a suitable access point. Before a station enters
power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered
frames at the access point). The entered value is represented in ms. Default is 100. Acceptable entry range is 1 to 0xffff (65535)

Global Max Clients

Global Max Clients limits the total associated clients to your SSID.

The graphic below shows an example of three protocols over the same connection.

8.1.2

MSP

Multi-Service over PVC (MSP) supports multiple protocols over a single connection. As with the VLAN Mux function, PPPoE, Bridge and
MER protocols can coexist, while IPoA and PPPoA are not supported. This function supports remote management by bridge protocol in
addition to multimedia applications over a single PVC.
Configuring MSP is a two-part process:
Part 1 -
Part 2 -

Create multiple PVCs (One Bridge + multiple PPPoE / One MER)


Use Port Mapping to connect LAN / WAN interfaces

NOTE: The example below shows how to configure a Bridge / PPPoE MSP connection. Use the same process for
Bridge / MER MSP connections.

If QoS is configured on the first MSP connection, it will be configured by default for all subsequent connections.

If a MSP connection is removed every other MSP connection should be removed to avoid port mapping configuration problems.

Part 1 Create Multiple PVCs


On the Advanced WAN screen, create one PPPoE connection and one Bridge connection on the MSP supporting PVC. The screen will
display as follows.

Part 2
Go to Advanced Port Mapping screen (see section 9.9 Port Mapping) and select the Enable Virtual Ports checkbox. The screen will
display as follows.

NOTE: Only hardware ports and bridge PVCs are listed as interfaces. The bridge interface is shown as nas_x_y_z where x=port, y=vpi, and z=vci.

8.2 LAN
Use this screen to configure LAN interface settings.

NOTE: NAT is enabled so Enable UPnP is shown above while DHCP Server Relay is hidden. Consult the field descriptions below for more details.

Field

Means

LAN IP Address

Default: 192.168.1.1. The LAN IP address of your NB9WMAXXn.

LAN Subnet Mask

Default: 255.255.255.0. The subnet mask of your NB9WMAXXn. A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet an IP address
belongs to. For more information on subnetting see http://www.ralphb.net/IPSubnet/.

Enable UPnP

Universal plug and play (UPnP) allows traffic to pass through the NB9WMAXXn for applications using the UPnP protocol. This
feature requires one active WAN connection. In addition, the client connecting to the NB9WMAXXn should support this feature.
UPnP also supports NAT Traversal which can automatically solve many NAT-related communications problems. UPnP enables
applications to assign dynamic port mappings to the NB9WMAXXn and delete them when connections are complete.
A typical example is the MSN Messenger application that runs on Windows. Instead of manually setting up the port mappings
UPnP enables MSN Messenger to make the request to the NB9WMAXXn which will setup these ports dynamically. When MSN
Messenger is closed the port openings will be removed from the NB9WMAXXns configuration.
Configure the second IP address and subnet mask for LAN interface. It is possible to configure the second IP address to access
the NB9WMAXXn on. Once this box is checked you are able to enter the IP address and subnet mask.

Disable DHCP Server

Disables the DHCP server. Only to be done if Static IP address is set up.

Enable DHCP Server

Default: Enabled.

Start IP Address

Default: 192.168.1.2. The first IP address that will be issued to the first DHCP client connecting to the NB9WMAXXn using
Ethernet cable or wirelessly.

End IP Address

Default: 192.168.1.254. The last IP address in the DHCP pool to be issued to DHCP clients connecting to the NB9WMAXXn.

Lease Time

Default: 24 hours. The time an IP address is assigned to a client before being renewed.

Enable IGMP Snooping

IGMP specifies how a host can register a router in order to receive specific multicast traffic. IGMP Snooping allows the
NB9WMAXXn to capture IGMP frames. When your NB9WMAXXn hears an IGMP report from a host for a given multicast group
it adds the hosts port number for that group. When the NB9WMAXXn hears an IGMP Leave, it removes the hosts port from the
table entry.
Without IGMP snooping, multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports.
With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group. IGMP Snooping
generates no additional network traffic, allowing you to significantly reduce multicast traffic passing through your NB9WMAXXn.

Save

Save the settings.

Save / Reboot

Save and reboot with the settings applied.

NOTE: The Save button saves new settings to allow continued configuration while the Save/Reboot button not only saves new settings but also reboots the device to apply
the new configuration (i.e. all new settings).

Add support to automatically map LAN interfaces including Wireless and USB to PVCs using DHCP vendor ID (option 60). The local DHCP
server will decline and send the requests to a remote DHCP server by mapping the appropriate LAN interface. This will be turned on when
PortMapping is enabled.
There are 4 PVCs (0/33, 0/36, 0/37, 0/38). VPI/VCI=0/33 is for PPPoE and the others are for IP set-top box (video). The LAN interfaces are
ENET1, ENET2, ENET3, ENET4, Wireless and USB. Port mapping configuration is:
1. Default:

ENET1, ENET2, ENET3, ENET4, Wireless and USB.

2. Video:

nas_0_36, nas_0_37 and nas_0_38. The DHCP vendor ID is Video.

The CPE deco server is running on Default. And ISPs deco server is running on PVC 0/36. It is for set-top box use only.
On the LAN side, the PC can get IP address from CPE deco server and access the Internet via PPPoE (0/33).
If the set-top box was connected with interface ENET1 and send a deco request with vendor id Video, the CPE deco server would
forward this request to ISPs deco server. Then the CPE will change the PortMapping configuration automatically.
The PortMapping configuration would become:
1. Default:

ENET1, ENET2, ENET3, ENET4, Wireless and USB.

2. Video:

nas_0_36, nas_0_37 and nas_0_38 and ENET1.
